Hello Everyone, Thanks in advance for everyone that helps here! Issue: I have msg.payload1.value.values that has over 100 arrays. I am wondering how to I output the data in sections like node red does? See pic below. My end goal is to have this data display in the dashboard in blocks of 10. [ima…

picture? kinda want to see your output after all of this :slight_smile: you got it plugged into your data not the mimmic we made? Any questions? do you see how / under stand how value.instance and value.type work in the function ? reformatted_Obj['Array [' + index_number + ']' + ' type: ' + cu…

Ok so for step one of any one wanting to help you out is to get the data that needs to be manipulated. It can be static and a one off So you create a flow like this: [{"id":"3d8b5600.b8529a","type":"inject","z":"32b9138.e8e466c","name":"","topic":"","payload":"","payloadType":"num","repeat":"","c…

each {"type":12,"value":{"type":2,"instance":3001614}}, is an array the data i really want is {"type":2,"instance":3001614} lol i planed on doing splinting and sorting to achieve getting just this value.

This works with your payload m = msg.payload.payload1.value.values let i,j,t,c=10; for (i=0,j=m.length; i<j; i+=c) { t = m.slice(i,i+c); node.send({payload:t}) }

[image] meeki007: [{"id":"3d8b5600.b8529a","type":"inject","z":"32b9138.e8e466c","name":"","topic":"","payload":"","payloadType":"num","repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"x":370,"y":320,"wires":[["edbb9fbe.c16818"]]},{"id":"9d4b75a8.a7b28","type":"debug","z":"32b9138.e8e466c",…

what is carried in payload1 is valid JSON. why not to parse using proper tools?

because @Navybrandon stated he planned on making this work with the dashboard UI. Figured he needed to start somewhere

@meeki007 my flow is too large to share. it also calls upon other flows so the import limit is reached.

[{"id":"f18f1dc3.a83ae","type":"function","z":"1fea49bd.2c3b16","name":"FAKE MSG.PAYLOAD","func":"\n\nmsg.payload1 = \n{\n \"value\":\n {\n \"len\":644,\n \"objectId\":\n {\n type: 8,\n instance: 532897\n },\n \"property\":\n {\n …

@bakman2 I re-ran that function and error was cannot read property of 'value' of undefined.
